So WHERE are they now ???
In the Lounge of the local Social Services office. Being waited on by government employees and handed their bag of cash before leaving to their government subsidized homes or having their anchor babies in County Hospitals across the country. . .
Oh, and doing the jobs no American will do.
Yeah, I'm sure millions of illegals are laughing.........:o(
I think this is the most laughable example of failed law enforcement that I have ever been witness to.
Yep, considering we *claim* to be a nation of laws.
The mexican illegals simply get released to try again, & the OTM's get a free ride to the bus station.
This sure teaches them to 'respect' & 'obey' US laws....NOT
looks like the border patrol is nothing but a welcoming committee?
More 'wasted' tax dollars for airfare.
How about border 'tent jails' & make them serve that 6 months the existing law *says* they're are supposed to serve ??
With interior jails @ 30% illegal, I wonder how many of those made this same promise to appear ??
They were 'criminals' the first time they crossed.
TX border counties are some of the 'poorest', with highest unemployment.
So how do these illegals 'fund' their trips further into the US ??
AMAZING, I guess we have a "Catch & Release" law.
So is the *bus stop manager* then in charge of these guys until they receive *legal* funds to continue their trip north ??
and *taxi* service.
un-frickin-believable
Yep, I was wondering how many 'anchor babies' these 20K (plus) a year could birth.
Keep in mind these 20K (plus) are *only* the OTM's & are *only* the OTM's that were caught.
The "joke" I see these days is that the OBL tries to make this criminal act a racial thang. The other laugh is that the border patrol claims they don't have enough people yet they open offices in cities as far from the border as Amarillo Texas , Kansas City, etc etc ?
Put the border patrol "back" on the border's, allow local LEO's in country to ask as to citizenship when they ask for drivers license and proof of insurance. Let them arrest folks committing ILLEGAL ACT's (What a friggin concept).......
Stay Safe Ya'll !
Oh sheesh February sweeps for the local news programs spewing hyperbole.
Brazilians and Argentines are not islamofascists and I doubt HS has them as hotbeds of terrorism, but what the hey can't let that get in the way of a good story to boost ratings.
any reports on this from your *bus station* ??
But you see King Bush has said that we need these people to do our jobs. Oh thank you Senor King Bush for your elitist and enlightened wisdom we Americans love the extra crime, and poverty, crappy schools and hospitals these ILLEGAL people bring with them. Thank you thank you (originally from Massachusetts) Bush family.

*Febuary Sweeps* ???
try searching "Ortiz", he's been in the TX news the last several months complaining about these OTM's being released.
"Congressman Ortiz says he's going to take the video of the illegal immigrants to Washington. He says he going to show it to congress to show them the breakdown at the border."
It is amazing. And if the law isn't there they appear to be making them up as they go along.
Tell that to the State Department who considers those two nations among those listed as Special Interest Countries. Channel 4 used the intruders from those countries as an example. Agents will tell you that catch and release happens for countries a lot more scarier sounding than Brazil and Argentina.
Why is local news the first sign that sweeps are upon us? Susie Hampton, advertising and marketing director for Freedom Dodge in Lexington, explains: "The heaviest local advertising comes in news, because it's the highest rated local programming that's affordable for local advertisers to buy."
And stations work hard to make sure those newscasts are watched during the four sweeps periods every year-February, May, July and November. Local stations around the country have been known to give away houses, cars and cash prizes.
All that in addition to the usual tactic of deploying those "shocking" stories that only the National Enquirer could love.
"Sweeps" is when local TV news stations try to put the most sensational news stories to gain ratings so they can set advertising rates.
JMO, this story you posted falls into a "sensationalizied" sweeps period story.
